Saves a lot of headaches later on:) just to let everyone following this thread know, that was the main source of my confusion when i was working on my girlfriend's computer!
what could be more natural than having gpm read from the device /dev/mouse? :-) perhaps debian should consider making the symlinks: /dev/Xmouse -> /dev/gpmdata| /dev/gpmmouse -> /dev/psaux (or whatever mouse you use) this kind of setup would be really hard to mess up! pete
